K.J. Yossman SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for “The Crown” Season 6, streaming on Netflix now. The final episodes of “The Crown” have dropped and, as Netflix boss Ted Sarandos pointed out at the premiere of Season 5, that means Google searches will be going up, since many fans like to fact-check scenes from Peter Morgan’s royal drama while they watch. “This is the story of Queen Elizabeth.

Peter has told and dramatised these stories, some very memorable, some forgotten, judging by the Google activity that happens every time we drop a new season,” said Sarandos at the premiere last November. Annie Sulzberger, who is head of research on the show, said that if fans spot discrepancies between real events and those on “The Crown,” those are intentional.

They were decisions to deviate from history.” So, read on to see what’s fact and what’s fiction in Season 6 of “The Crown.” Did Diana really plot to push Camilla off the front pages?
